Silence

Silence of the Damned     9/24/2013

Another day

And another beating

As the crickets chirp

And the wind drives by.

Silence is golden

But today the silence speaks

As everyone can see

What it means

And where it leads.

Even an animal

Kills for food

And none of them laugh

Or act like fools. 

The world burns

And the good are slaughtered

While we look the other way

And pretend we are safe.

The message is for you

And the message is for me

Loud, clear, and horrifying

And no one does a thing.

Others have stood

And they are the accused

Vilified for doing what they must

And what anyone would do. 

Something evil has happened

And crawled up on the shore

Creeping slowly through the weeds

Unchecked and unseen.

We left the back door open

And now it waits for us to weaken

Waiting until we can no longer

Rise or defend. 

The clock is ticking 

Downwards

But there is still 

A lot left to happen.

Because even though evil

May have its way

All of it shall end

And be gone in a day. 

Swift shall be the judgment

And final shall be the sentence

Without excuses

Or pardons.

The words

Have never been more clear

And woe to them

Who call evil good

And good they call evil. 

Drop off the treadmill

And stop feeding the beast

Careful who you reward

And what you do. 

This world and all its power

Is nothing compared to faith

And soon the blood of the good

Shall be avenged

Ten times 

Ten thousand.
